Because they are looking for truth and they think that science gives it to them.

Science doesn’t look for “truth”. Science looks for verifiable and falsifiable empirical results. Truth is left for the mystics and the priests. — Captain Compassion

It produces the ultimate ah ha experience because our beings are made for truth.

Your comment is one of the most annoyingly common claims on this subject.

Science makes statements as if it were Truth, written in stone, and then in a week is changing its collective mind.
